subject: Safety Glasses Have Come of Age [print this page] I now temporarily find myself hooked on safety glasses info. The internet is a great place to browse. A few search engine clicks further and I'm onto laser safety glasses. Laser safety, I love the world we live in! Even the tiny yet lucky few of us earning their buck looking at lasers get to do it in style. Again, after seeing the variety of colors and shapes I wanted to pick a random frequency and shell out $425 for my own pair. Maybe use them to read the paper, only $475 for the bifocals. I thought to myself, "such a genius yet painstakingly obvious problem that is now solved." Not only make safety glasses in prescription form, but make bifocal versions as well! It makes perfect sense. If someone only needs glasses to read, not to see, it will require the removal of safety glasses to start reading, something not always in the best interest of the person wearing the glasses. Bi focal safety glasses are the answer to that problem. I wonder what they will get around to making next.
